The Secret Blueprint to Changing Your Domain Name Without Losing a Single Visitor
- Get your hosting provider’s nameserver address(es). It will be something like “ns1.example.com” and “ns2.example.com.”
- Log in to your domain registrar account and find your new domain’s DNS or nameserver settings.
- Update the A records with your hosting provider’s nameservers.
- Save the changes.
Make sure to back up the DNS records from your old domain in case you need them later!
In WordPress.com, you manage your site domains under Upgrades → Domains (or Hosting → Domains if you are using WP Admin).
